1. Linen Shirt with Tailored Shorts

Nothing says summer quite like a crisp linen shirt paired with tailored shorts. Linen is one of the best fabrics for hot weather because it’s breathable, lightweight and naturally moisture-wicking. Choose neutral colours such as white, beige, sage green or light blue for a fresh seasonal look. Roll up the sleeves and pair the outfit with white sneakers or leather sandals for effortless everyday style.

Best for: Weekend outings, cafés, sightseeing and casual lunches.

2. Flowy Maxi Dress

A flowy maxi dress is a summer wardrobe essential. It’s comfortable, elegant and easy to style for almost any occasion. Floral prints, soft pastels or earthy tones perfectly capture the relaxed Australian summer vibe. Add a straw hat, sunglasses and flat sandals for an outfit that’s ideal for beach walks or brunch dates.

Style Tip: Choose breathable cotton or rayon fabrics for maximum comfort.

3. Classic T-Shirt with Denim Shorts

Sometimes, the simplest outfits are the most stylish. A plain cotton T-shirt paired with high-waisted denim shorts is a timeless summer combination. You can elevate the look with minimal jewellery, a crossbody bag and comfortable canvas sneakers.

This versatile outfit works well for shopping trips, picnics or running everyday errands.

4. Tank Top with Wide-Leg Linen Pants

If you prefer a little more coverage without overheating, pair a fitted cotton tank top with lightweight wide-leg linen pants. This outfit creates a relaxed silhouette while allowing plenty of airflow, making it perfect for hot Australian afternoons.

Finish the look with sandals and a woven tote bag for effortless summer fashion.

5. Matching Co-Ord Set

Matching co-ord sets have become one of the biggest summer fashion trends. Whether it’s a matching shirt and shorts or a crop top with a coordinating skirt, co-ord sets take the guesswork out of styling while looking polished and fashionable. An added bonus is that each piece can be mixed and matched with other items in your wardrobe.

6. Midi Skirt with a Basic Tee

A lightweight midi skirt paired with a tucked-in cotton T-shirt creates an outfit that’s both comfortable and chic. This look transitions easily from daytime outings to casual evening dinners. Complete the outfit with white sneakers during the day or strappy sandals for a dressier appearance.

7. Sleeveless Jumpsuit

A sleeveless jumpsuit offers an easy all-in-one outfit that’s perfect for busy summer days. Look for breathable fabrics in neutral or pastel shades to keep cool. Accessorise with a woven handbag, simple jewellery and espadrilles for a stylish finish.

8. Linen Shirt Dress

The linen shirt dress is one of the most versatile pieces for Australian summers. Wear it loose with flat sandals for a relaxed daytime look or add a belt and wedges for dinner or evening events. Its breathable fabric makes it a practical choice even during the hottest days.

9. Lightweight Playsuit

A lightweight playsuit is ideal for vacations, beachside cafés and relaxed weekends. Choose soft cotton or linen materials that allow movement while keeping you comfortable throughout the day. Pair it with slide sandals and oversized sunglasses for a modern summer look.

10. White Jeans with a Sleeveless Top

Although denim can sometimes feel warm, lightweight white jeans paired with a sleeveless blouse create a fresh summer outfit that’s perfect for evenings when temperatures begin to cool. Finish the look with neutral sandals and simple accessories for an elegant appearance.

Foods to avoid to prevent weight gain

Foods to avoid in summers in order to prevent weight gain

Healthy eating is the most common approach we all should adopt to at all times. But, at the same time there are some foods which are meant for particular time or season only and should be carefully considered while we include them in our daily diets. And there are some food which are always bad and do more harm than good and should always be omitted from our diet. Here in this article we would be looking at certain foods that we should seriously avoid in order to prevent weight gain in summers.

Summers are the months of rising temperatures and outdoor activities. It is also the holiday season and nature also blesses us with its bounty of delicious and fresh produces, but at the same time there are a lot of high-calorie foods available in this season that make us gain considerable amount of weight. Beverages that are refreshing and cold salads are some foods that we enjoy a lot in the hot weather but these foods have surprisingly high amount of calories and fats.

Let’s look at what we should avoid eating during the summer months so that we do not put on the extra weight on to ourselves.

  • Frozen Yoghurt

Don’t get fooled this summer with this summer delight. It is a common misconception that yoghurt is yoghurt, and is meant to be healthy. Yes, it is true, but not the frozen ones. They are loaded with added sugars and calories, even higher than what you generally find in an ice cream. Though yoghurt has some bit of protein in it, the probiotic factors are missing as it is there in natural and active yoghurts. Avoid them strictly.

  • Packaged Fruit Juices

During the summers we tend to pick up everything that is a fluid and with the easy availability, attractive packaging and tastefully enticing packaged fruit juices, we all tend to pick them the first. Almost all packaged fruit juices are loaded with added sugar in the form of sugary sodas – the main culprit to a host of health issues including weight gain. Next time you want to stay hydrated and keep away from thirst, make a wiser choice with whole fruits or freshly squeezed juices out of them.

  • Summer Salads

Salads are great foods for the summers, perhaps for all the year around – low in calories and super healthy. But there are the ones like the creamy pasta salads and the sweetened fruit salads could be equally dangerous and harmful. Refined flour, calorie rich creamy dressings, sugary syrups, whipped cream and what all – you have all the ingredients at one place to make you fat and unhealthy. Dressings in particular are pure fat.

  • Lemonades and flavored sweetened teas

Water doesn’t seem to be appealing always, whereas a chilled glass of lemonade or a flavored cold ice tea seems to be the perfect solution. You are not alone, we all are with you. But these drinks are super high in calories and sweets – a perfect combination to make you fat and fatter.

  • Bar-be-cue meats and burgers

This is one thing that we all wait for the entire year and come summers we love to have evening bar-be-cue parties very often. Research say that meats cooked over open flame and at unregulated temperatures causes the protein of the meat to break down into a compound that is not at all good for health and causes unprecedented fat gain.

Opt for lean meats with thinner cuts and cook over the grill to ensure that the meats stay healthy, yet delicious. Moreover, adding cheese and creamy topping on them add up to the portion of unsaturated fats along with higher levels of sodium and calories. Use herb and olive oil marinades to make them super healthy.

Being cautious about what you eat in any season is in your hands and so is your health. Make smarter choices and watch what you eat. You will be safe form weight gain in summers.

What I share on Google Maps & how it has helped me!

What I love sharing and how Google Maps has helped me!

It has been an amazing journey with Google Maps. I have been contributing for a long time as far as I do not remember when I started 😀 I love travelling to new places/countries, hotels and try new cuisines. I believe that photographs play a major role and along with my reviews, I post pictures of place, restaurant, food and everything around.5-e1554462663547.jpg

Also Google Maps has helped a lot in reaching desired destination. Also whenever I plan a vacation, I use Google Maps to check the distance from the hotel or from the Airport and see pictures to know which places are the best for sightseeing.

I guess it will be difficult to jot down advantages we get by using Google Maps on daily basis as these are many. From finding your destination to searching for a best hamburger restaurant to searching for a public transport to searching public toilet nearby, the list of benefits is endless!
